Oh, I agree that having lots of people meet up is best. But I also
believe that just *two* people meeting is better than nothing.
"Critical mass" is great, but I think a lot of people miss the benefit
of a simple meeting between a couple meeting.

For example, if you and I met for lunch... wouldn't that be good?

In some respects, getting 50 people into a room together may be
shooting yourself in the foot. If I wanted to spend 5 minutes with
each other person in the room, that would take over 4 hours!! I would
much rather spend an hour sharing beers with three people, than three
minutes each with 50 people.

Cheers,
